Installing Server 2008 in a virtual machine is really no different than installing in a physical box; you boot the install DVD in the virtual machine and follow the prompts the same way as booting from the DVD on a real, physical machine.

You installed a Windows 2003 server on your PC and now you want to install Windows XP?

There are two ways to do this. Either install a software called Virtual PC and install Windows XP on the Virtual PC which basically means you switch on Windows 2003 and then use the Windows XP under the Virtual PC. I just checked and the good thing is you can install Virtual PC from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/virtualpc/default.mspx. The other alternative is backup your data and reinstall Windows XP on the server. The thing to note, on virtual PC, there is required licensing. Kind regards, Imtiaz.

How do you install Windows XP Windows 2000 and Windows 98 software on Windows 7?

If I understand your question correctly, you already have Windows 7 on your PC, and you also want to have Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 98 running as well. The easiest way to do this would be to install a virtual machine and operating system. I recommend VMWare Player, which is a free virtualizing system which is compatible with just about any "guest" OS. For example, I have two flavors of Linux and Windows 98 running as virtual machines on my XP host machine. Other options would include the Sun VirtualBox, or Microsoft Virtual Server. I think VMWare Player is the easiest and most reliable.
